Number: MER0003UR7 The electrification of passenger cars leads to an increasing tightening of existing efficiency requirements. In order to successfully place vehicles on the market in the future, components of the main and the secondary drives are subject to a constant review to show and reduce power losses. In this case, the transmission assumes a high significance for an efficient overall operation. For reliable and efficient operation, the electrohydraulic transmission control plays a central role within the transmission. Thus, for example, cooling and lubrication requirements are covered, which have an influence on the overall efficiency due to their continuous operation. In addition, the requirements for an electrohydraulic transmission control are increasingly changing due to the vehicle electroplating progressing. This change opens up the possibility of a fundamental revision of conventional gear controls. In the course of the final work written out, the use of a plastic is to be critically questioned for future requirements. To this end, the changing boundary conditions of electrohydraulic transmission controls must be shown. Based on future boundary conditions, in a step based on this, the possibilities for evaluating a change of material of the housing material are possible. New design solutions for electrohydraulic control systems resulting therefrom are to be developed and evaluated in the light of the high possible component integration taking into account the manufacturing requirements. Finally, it is necessary to secure these on the basis of existing or additional basic investigations. Summary of the work content: Comparing the requirements of gear controls in conventional and modern drive concepts

Creating and building a deep-ripe understanding of previous and future boundary conditions of electrohydraulic transmission controls

Dissipation of possible structural changes by a material change of the housing material taking into account a functional integration of electrohydraulic transmission controls

Use of existing test results in order to secure the described design possibilities

Topic: Basic development for the use of plastic as housing material of an electrohydraulic transmission control. The final topics will be discussed with the university, you and us. The activity can begin from March 2026.
